Character guide

Cao Min, first-line actress with friend Qi Lening.

Sun Shanjing second-line little flower with actress Liu Yueyun.

Luo Ye, second-line refreshing boy with second-line actress He Lixin.

Yuan Jun, a popular idol with his sister Yuan Lai.

Shen Rui, a second-tier refreshing boy, invited Tao Kai.

Shen Qingshu lined up again. After Luo Ye and He Lixin failed again, he went back to stand in his previous position and was ready to try for the last time.

This time, he didn’t aim too far. He just stared at the front rows and threw his hand, and unexpectedly caught a doll in the third row!

“Wow!” Shen Qingshu was pleasantly surprised.

Han Cheng also encouraged him, “That was great.”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile and happily threw again. This time, he was not so lucky and did not catch one. However, he was not discouraged. He threw another hoop, and ended up catching a fifth row doll.

Shen Qingshu was so excited that he jumped up. Seeing him like this, Han Cheng decided to play the game with him after they went back.

When he was young, he was forcibly trained by professionals. Every time, the master could simulate the situation of 100 kidnappers kidnapping him, so neither he nor Han Yu were lacking training in this area.

Fortunately, he himself likes bows and guns, so he doesn’t find it boring and instead was very interested.

Shen Qingshu finally threw the last circle and got a doll in the sixth row. He smiled contentedly and looked at Han Cheng demanding praise.

Han Cheng immediately said, “That’s great! If you practise twice more, you will definitely hit the last row.”

Shen Qingshu’s eyes were curved in a smile, and his face was full of satisfaction and joy.

When Han Cheng saw that he was happy, he wanted to ask for another five hoops for him, but Shen Qingshu stopped him. “No, I have played enough. Let’s go to the next task.”

In fact, he just had a bout of childishness. This task was really fun, and he wasn’t good at it. So he wants to try a few more times to see if he can achieve better results. It doesn’t matter how many points he gets, he will be happy as long as he can get a few.

“Let’s go.”

“Not playing anymore?” Hancheng asked him.

Shen Qingshu nodded, “I can play later when we go back.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng originally planned to play with him after they got back, so he didn’t persuade him again, “I’ll teach you when we go back.”

Together, they said goodbye to Luo Ye and He Lixin and prepared to go to the next mission site.

Luo Ye watched them leave and felt that his heart had left with them. He also wanted to do the next task. He didn’t want to face endless matryoshka dolls!

He Lixin patted his old buddy on the shoulder, “Come on, let’s continue catching dolls.”

Luo Ye: …Forever and forever, matryoshka dolls will go on forever!

Luo Ye picked up the hoops again and continued the despondent life of endless matryoshka dolls.

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng still choose the bus. Luo Ye and He Lixin are still catching dolls, while others haven’t arrived yet, so they still have some time.

“When we finish the task later, we can buy some food with the rest of the money.”

“En,” Han Cheng replied, “we should be first, so don’t worry.”

The two men came to the location of the last task confidently and prepared to complete the final task ‘Who said I can’t remember’.

“Look for the believer of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and she will take you to the trial,” the staff reminded.

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng looked at the woman dressed similarly not far away and blinked, they need to find someone again?

“Who do you think it is?” Han Cheng asked Shen Qingshu with a tilted head.

Shen Qingshu carefully observed and finally pointed to one of them and said to Han Cheng, “Go ask her.”

Han Cheng reacted instantly, gave him a compliment and walked over.

The other party seemed to have no idea that they would guess correctly the first try. She asked in surprise, “Why did you choose me?”

Han Cheng smiled and pointed to her head. “Olive branch, you are wearing a wreath of olive branches on your head.”

And the others, with or without flowers, are not made of olive branches.

The other party laughed, introduced herself elegantly, and then led them to the test.

Han Cheng turned and waved to Shen Qingshu. Shen Qingshu immediately ran to him and followed.

“You’re awesome.” Han Cheng said.

“Of course.” Shen Qingshu stated proudly.

“Her name is Jenny.” Han Cheng introduced him. “You can call her that later.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu nodded.

Jenny took them to a room in the palace not far away, and then handed them a book. “There are 100 questions in this book. You have ten minutes to memorise them. Please come find me in the next room after ten minutes and answer my random questions.”

Shen Qingshu looked at the books in his hand in shock, 100! 10 minutes! Can people memorise this ? !

Who said I can’t remember? He felt like he was about to forget it now!

Shen Qingshu nodded with difficulty. Forget it, just go with the flow, keep trying in a desperate situation. Even if he can’t remember, he has to remember!

“Okay.”

“Good luck then,” Jenny smiled.

“Thank you.”

Shen Qingshu flipped through the pages of the book. Fortunately, the book was full of fill-in-the-blank questions, and there were no questions that required a long section of memorization. It was better than he imagined.

“Let’s split it between the two of us. You memorise the first 50 and I memorise the last 50.” Han Cheng arranged.

“En.” Shen Qingshu nodded.

Two people quickly browsed and memorised.

“Ten minutes is over,” the staff reminded.

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng walked out of the room and went to the next room.

Jenny sat on the sofa and seemed to be drinking afternoon tea.

Han Cheng looked at her leisurely appearance and wondered, “Don’t you need to go out at this time? What if other people come and can’t find you?”

“My maid has been waiting for guests from afar for me outside.” Jenny responded gently. “If they can find her, she will bring them to see me.”

Han Cheng understood, “Then we are quite honoured to have you wait for us and take us to the test.”

“This is the honour of first place.” Jenny smiled. “Well, now let’s start the test.”

She picked up the book on the table and introduced the rules, “I will randomly ask 30 questions. You have one chance to skip and one chance to answer wrongly. If you pass the test, you will receive Athena’s blessing. If you fail the test, you need to go back to the room to memorise again, and come back for a retest in ten minutes.”

“Understood.”

“Well, the test begins now.” Jenny looked down and began to ask questions.

Contrary to Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng’s expectation, they recited the fill-in-the-blank question, while Jenny asked multiple-choice questions. Which reduced the difficulty. At least they have an impression and don’t have to begin with nothing.

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng both felt relieved and began to answer in cooperation.

However, in the end, the two people did not get through 100 questions. So even if they had a chance to skip and a chance to answer wrong, they failed the test on the 25th question.

“Please go back to the other room to memorise, and come back for the test in ten minutes.”

“Okay,” Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng replied.

They went back to the room together and picked up the book on the table again.

“I think we should do this,” Shen Qingshu said. “We don’t need to memorise everything verbatim. As long as we have a general impression, we can choose the answer from the multiple choices.”

He recalled, “Although she sometimes gives two very similar options, there are few such cases, so we can roughly remember it. If we encounter this situation, we will skip it.”

Han Cheng feels the same way.

The two people quickly began to memorise again. Ten minutes later, they went to Jenny’s room again.

Unfortunately, this time, they are still one step short.

“We can do it next time!” Shen Qingshu clenched his fist.

“That’s right!” Han Cheng wasn’t dejected.

They memorised again, and then challenged Jenny for the third time.

Jenny actually thinks they are pretty competent and only fall short by a little each time. They only need to answer a few more questions correctly to pass the test, however they are stuck on the last few questions, in which she also felt regretful.

“Good luck.” She said to Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng, “I wish you success.”

“Thank you.”

Jenny picked up the book and began the third test.

This time, Han Cheng and Shen Qingshu have already remembered their 50 questions, so each time she asks a question, the person who memorised that question can give the answer without hesitation.

They have a good memory. They only skipped two similar options once, and on all the other questions chose the correct answers.

“Congratulations on successfully passing the test.” Jenny stood up and took two wreaths made of olive branches and put them on their heads one by one.

Shen Qingshu looked at Han Cheng happily and thanked her. Then they left the palace.

“Are we the first?” he asked the staff.

“Yes,” the staff member thought to himself, aren’t you asking this knowing the answer?

Isn’t everyone else still playing matryoshka dolls? They haven’t come here to look for Athena’s believer yet.

Shen Qingshu played with the garland. “That’s good, then we don’t have to worry.”

He looked at the beautiful scenery nearby and said, “Since we are here, let’s go shopping together.”

“En.” Han Cheng agreed.

Staff: … You two are not anxious at all!

Of course, Shen Qingshu is not anxious. Everyone else hasn’t come yet. What should they feel anxious about?

“Thanks to your strength, otherwise we might also be there catching dolls right now” Shen Qingshu boasted.

Han Cheng was not modest. “Obviously, who am I?”

As he said that, he saw a small food cart with his sharp eyes. “Do you want to eat?”

“Let’s eat.” Shen Qingshu replied casually, “I haven’t tried any foreign food yet.”

Han Cheng went to buy one, and then sat on the bench with him.

He tore a piece and tasted it himself. Shen Qingshu asked, “How is it? Is it delicious?”

Han Cheng tore a piece and fed it into his mouth, “It’s almost the same as in China.”

Shen Qingshu chewed, indeed.

“But it’s sweeter.”

“En.” Han Cheng tore another piece and fed it to him.

“You eat yours.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile, “Don’t feed me.”

Han Cheng took advantage of him talking to stuff him more directly.

Shen Qingshu had no choice but to accept his feeding again.

When Shen Rui and Tao Kai arrived panting, what they saw was this scene on the bench not far away. Their chief chef and their most popular star were sharing a pastry looking so leisurely and …… sweet?

“Why are you eating here, instead of doing the task?” Shen Rui asked inexplicably.

“We’re finished,” Shen Qingshu stated.

Shen Rui was shocked: “Have you finished… ? ! !”

“En.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

“Can you give me a clue?” Shen Rui asked.

“No,” interjected the staff immediately.

Shen Qingshu raised the hand holding the olive wreath. “They won’t let me.”

Shen Rui: … It’s too miserable.

He was about to leave, but when he looked back, he found that Tao Kai had not followed.

“Why aren’t you coming?” Shen Rui asked.

Tao Kai looked at Han Cheng’s hand and smiled slowly. “Han ge, I’m a little hungry. Can I eat a piece?”

“Are you really hungry?” Han Cheng asked him.

Tao Kai nodded hurriedly.

Han Cheng smiled, “No, you’re not hungry.”

Tao Kai: …

Han Cheng handed it to Shen Qingshu’s mouth and let him bite.

“Still hungry?” he asked Tao Kai.

Tao Kai: … No, I’m not hungry.

He lowered his head gloomily and felt that their chief chef only wanted to spoil Shen Qingshu.

“Let’s go.” Shen Rui pulled him over. “Don’t bother others!”

Didn’t you see that the two ge’s are happy and others can’t insert themselves in at all ? !

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise. Not bad, Shen Rui is a little enlightened.

So, the quiet streets consist of only Shen Qingshu, Han Cheng and the pastry in their hands.

Oh, no, and the cameraman who carries the camera and is forced to continue eating dog food.

Alas, how can these two boys be so lovey dovey?

The cameraman thinks he is too rough. No wonder he can’t be a star. Look how delicate they are! No wonder one is a star and the other is a vice president!

Straight male camera ge thinks he has finally realised the truth!
